DOS ain't dead - "Forking" is much worse than copying

"Forking" is much worse than copying (Miscellaneous)

I don't believe you're capable to even understand Jack's code, let alone "fork" it. And beware, your "fork" will very quickly become obsolete by next releases. Besides, to "fork" something just to add your name (or alias) on it is useless.

> Anyway, so, you won't remove your copyright infringing,

Sorry, I don't recognise the very concept of "copy right" over computer programs and am against it. (Just different ideological views than yours.)

> stolen code software

As I already argued here (forum_entry.php?id=879), software cannot be stolen by definition. But if an author (Jack) has expressed his negative attitude towards you, to "fork" his code is a much greater sin than just to use code written by a dozen of unknown programmers.

> from your bootdisk? Alright then :)

Yes, we prefer just to ignore your threats.
